Resident Evil 5 (Collector's Edition) Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

You'll find the beginning of this chapter to be an eerily quiet one. You'll begin in an aquatic cavern with a disabled speedboat nearby, which is missing its key. Proceed past it and off of the docks into a little shack; you can grab a Green Herb and Flash Grenade here. Then, swing leftward and walk into the large cavern you encounter. Even though you'll see impaled skeletons on spears here and other acts of ancient violence, things are still quiet. That is, until you reach a certain point in the linear cavern that spurs the appearance of monstrous spiders called Bui Kichwa. These guys are weak, but annoying, so back up to give yourself some space and begin picking them off with individual, well-placed pistol rounds.

Some of the Bui Kichwa are more resilient to strikes than others, but it's all solely contingent on where you strike them. So, attempt for solid body shots. Then, proceed further down the cavernous pathway and, for the time being, ignore the ladder leading up. Instead, explore the location past the ladder, which will draw out a few more Bui Kichwa to deal with. When they're felled, all enemies around you will be eliminated, so head to the far nook with a jar in it. Smash the jar for an item, and then look to your left (if facing where the jar was located). You can pull yourself up to this secret area, where a Topaz (Trilliant) can be found and added to your treasure inventory. Grab this, then backtrack to the ladder and climb up. Yes, the Bui Kichwa are also mysterious in that they drop ammunition when killed, so be sure you didn't leave any other valuables behind before proceeding.

BSAA Emblem #19 - Actually, don't climb that ladder just yet. Instead, walk towards the ladder, but position yourself to the left of it. You'll see a makeshift wooden fence that blocks you from the wide open chasm ahead. This is where you're going to want to look for this, the first of three emblems in the area. To find it easily, simply stand in front of the fence to the left of the ladder, and point your pistol over the chasm to the far rockface. This emblem can be easily seen tucked in a crevasse along the rockface, where a simply shot with a number of weapons will do it in quickly and easily.

With the spiders slain, the Topaz (Trilliant) acquired, and BSAA Emblem #19 destroyed, it's time to actually climb up this much-spoken about ladder. When you do, expect to be greeted by more Bui Kichwa. Destroy these enemies, grab the goods from the nearby jars, and then cross the rocky bridge to another linear corridor through this cave. As you head down this corridor, expect to be attacked by a few more waves of spiders. Some of these waves are downright thick, so you may want to switch out your pistol or a shotgun in order to kill multiple enemies simultaneously, at close range. When you finally make it through the waves of spiders, you'll come across an ornate door at the end of the pathway. Before heading through it to proceed with the chapter, be sure to aim your gun at and shoot both animal skulls on the ground nearby. One contains a Ruby (Pear) and the other a Sapphire (Pear). Grab both before continuing.

BSAA Emblem #20 - Almost immediately upon entering this area, you'll be able to strike and destroy the second of three BSAA Emblems located on Chapter 4-1. To grab this one, you must have a sniper rifle. With a sniper rifle, this emblem is extremely easy to acquire. After the cutscene introduces you to this new area, don't move. Instead, simply shift your character slightly so he (or she) is facing the wide open area ahead. You see the large gem-like prism in the area, where the sunlight is pointing? Focus your sniper rifle underneath this contraption, and you'll find the emblem in question. It's barely visible with the naked eye, but to hit it, the sniper rifle is a must.

After striking the twentieth BSAA Emblem, move to your left. Chris and Sheva will have a brief conversation as you go, but for the time being, you won't run into any enemy resistance whatsoever. When you reach the end of this brief path, jump downward, and then continue forward along a new path. Smash the vases on your left for goods, and continue onward. You'll ultimately be led to another drop that you'll need to take down to another area below. Navigate forward towards a large stone treasure chest. Both characters will be required to open it, but when you do, you'll find a plethora of gold to take as your own.
